140. Carebear Power!

"How do I know that he cares?"


That was a hard one to pass up on. I opened up my blogger account and of the number of emails I got this one is that one that jumped out at me. hmm...

SO here's the things about caring. I often tell myself two "rules" that I try and live by when I think about it. Number 1 rule, "what do they do for me?" and number 2 rule, "what do they ask for in return?"

I think this is a simply math problem for all of us to follow. If someone says, "Hey andrew I want to take you out, stare you deep in the eye and grab your ass before trying to lay you...but then you have to leave in the morning" That probably means that they don't care about you.

The thing about care is that it requires that we are greedy in return. If they want something from us, it is our responsibility to ask for something in return. Now granted, it isn't always necessary to get something in return, but remember our abiliy to have an equal relationship means that they offer you something be it love, emotional support or hot sex on starbucks counters when the boss is away...

To know care you must be willing to give it back.
